Man, I've always been too lazy and cheap to get an avatar/title myself, who knew the secret was doing a lovely logo? Oh well, I'm sure I'll post something stupid eventually and then it's clear sailing to insulting avatartown :toot:.

Ah, I didn't see the E until you pointed it out, that's actually pretty clever. They've just been going with a W for over a decade at this point though, safe to say that's how it'll stay.

Probably a less awkward way to make the same effect would be to just curve the red swish that the actual logo has into a lower case e.

The tag team match, outside of the general idiocy of burying your tag division (but nobody cares so whatever), and the weird Acension segment, was far and away the best TV match WWE has put on in a long time.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

It really put an emphasis on how WWE has like six tag teams right now and none them of them matter except the Usos.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

THE ASCENSION.

so was the ascension supposed to be trying to curry favor with the authority or is it just that they naturally want to assault people and don't care about rules?

The latter, probably.

Also yeah that Smackdown main event sounded silly on paper but played out real well.

They didn't really bury any team outside of Slater Gator.

Miz and Mizdow had a decent showing.
The Usos wrestled them to basically a draw for 20 minutes, before Daniel decided to kill one.
Los Matadores got a few spots in, but lost.
Slater Gator were squashed like the jobbers they already are.
The Ascension got DQd for repeatedly failing to listen to the referee, while looking like complete monsters.

Dustin's kicking the turnbuckle, not the groin. Same reason the 'drop toe hold one guy into headbutting the other dude's junk' isn't a DQ.

Probably for the same reasons closed-fist punches are against the rules, but... "Big Show with the KO Punch for the win!"

E:^^^ Closed fist hasn't been against the rules in ages, if you want more info on that you can ask good ol' JR.

I thought Shattered Dreams actually was a low blow DQ, and he almost always did it while Marlena had the ref distracted?

It stopped being a DQ when he came back in 2002 or so, and it became a babyface spot.

I'm not sure when they got rid of that rule, but I think SummerSlam 1992 had the Shawn Michaels/Rick Martel 'no punching in the face' rule. So ... before that?

It's the concept of a randomly thrown together team of singles dudes beating you entire tag division that's stupid.

To be fair, The Megapowers ran through Demolition, Powers of Pain, Mega Bucks, Twin Towers, and Hart Foundation in like 15 minutes that one time on Saturday Night's Main Event.

No, they didn't, because that would've been stupid.

I've always justified it that a closed fist is "eye rake" illegal, not "steel chair shot" illegal. If you hit non-stop closed fists you'll get DQ'd, but one will just get you a warning.
